Well, you have to have the time to sell them. I don't. I am trying to outsource. I only know a neat way to land nice generic names.

How do domain flippers adapt to the scarcity of good names. What model of getting good domain names can one adapt?

oladayo042:
Every one-word and two-word category killer domain names, that I can term 'great,' were taken...
Now, that's my opinion.

2sExy1:
ok. We don hear. Keep your domain. A buyer will come to you.

coolscott:


That is not how it works. You have to sell. To sell, you need exposure. And for the right exposure, you need someone that knows. One should never underestimate the services of a good/professional salesman. Salesmen are the ones who keep the executives in the office paid.

1. Please use GoDaddy. When you are starting out in this business, you will buy a lot of shitty domains. It is better to buy at $0.99 than to spend $10 a domain at a Nigerian registrar. Register with GoDaddy using a Nigerian IP and ensure you have a valid means of identification ready e.g. Driver's License, International Passport, Voter's Card, National ID, etc.

2. Try and open a Sedo account and park your domains there. Don't waste money on auctioning newly handregged domains.

The Golden Rule: Learn, Learn, Learn, Buy, Learn, Learn, Learn, Sell.

Every one-word and two-word category killer domain names, that I can term 'great,' were taken before the year 2000. If you find a category killer domain name registered after 2000, it is either that (a) the technology that made that name great was developed post-2000 or (b) the domain dropped and someone else bought it on a drop auction. A good example of (a) is Bitcoins dot com while that of (b) is EventManagement dot com.

What many people, like myself, do is what I call the 'Hit or Miss' approach to domain names. I know that I can not afford great domain names and I'm not looking for one. What I'm looking for is a domain name, even if not great, that will be useful to someone enough that they will shell out their hard-earned dollars to pay for it. I 'hit' it sometimes and I 'miss' it many times. I just have to make sure that the dollars from my 'hits' cover the 'misses' and still have a leftover.

To the best of my knowledge, there are two ways to getting great domain names:

1. Go to the aftermarket or drop auctions.
Some great domain names drop once in a while and domainers will have the chance to bid on it and compete with others to have the name. Please know that great domain names don't come cheap. Be ready to shell out $XXXXX.

2. Handregging 'future trend' domains
Every great domain was first registered by someone at a point. Technologies are getting developed everyday and domainers who have the ability to predict what technology will be in popular use in the future are always handsomely compensated with $XXXXX for their foresight. A good example is 3DPrintedShoes dot com. The domain was hand-registered in 2013 and sold this year for $7500. This is what the ability to buy names before the term gets popular usage can do.

Another alternative to handregging future trend domains is to buy 'future trend' domains from the aftermarket. When people handreg future trend domains, some may be willing to sell it for some profit to someone who can wait even longer for the term to get popular usage.

From (1) and (2), I think (2) is more worthwhile for me and other domainers who don't have a deep purse.

Now, that's my opinion.

What a comprehensive analysis, kudos to all contributors of this thread, I just found this thread few days ago and I'm really impressed. Sir I sent you a pm. I need som1 lk u for mentoring, i ll be glad if u can connect with me via my pin Gracias.

oladayo042:
Now, this is what I've been praying that 2sexy starts doing: sharing information. Thank you God for answering my prayers. :-D

You have quite a handful of future trend domains. I like Drone Corporation. In fact, I love it. It can even be used without any relation to drones. I don't have any drone names as I feel that all the good ones are taken.

I have 3D Printed Bedsheets, though. Plenty of Alibaba sellers selling it already. Think about a picture of you and your wife on your wedding day printed on your bedsheet with a 3d printer. Trust me, you won't cheat with someone else on that bed. I think this will get popular with time.

Please edit your post and remove your email.

I am just a newbie like you. While I like to help others, I also believe in sharing information. So if your questions are not private in nature, you should consider asking it here on this thread.

Please do a lot of reading by yourself and I'll be glad to clarify issues when you need me to.

I have replied your pm since morning and you should have my email by now.

Thanks for the correction, though have been learning extensively about domaining. I was just been mindful of not repeating the questions that perhaps have been asked in the past.

Have you verified your Paypal account? I just hit my minimum payout.

2sexi:
through what did you hit minimum payout?

oladayo042:
I was referring to my WL account. @Ghettodreamz would understand what I wrote up there. He was (may be still looking) looking for someone with funds in his Payoneer account to verify his Nigerian Paypal account. My Payoneer account only get funded from my WL account and I have it the minimum payout on my WL.
